Anjou Velo Vintage – Loire Valley Retro Cycling

The Anjou Velo Vintage in the Loire Valley is a great annual cycling festival hosted in the town of Saumur.

The cycling event is one of the best of its type in France no matter how much you enjoy cycling.

If you’ve got a cycle built before 1987, some vintage cycling clothes and a sense of fun then join up!

The event is now one of the biggest events of it’s type, attracting over 3000 entrants and 30,000 visitors to Saumur.  It’s not competitive – just great fun!
